Faculty: Integrating Library Resources into Canvas

This guide will show how to obtain permalinks to journal articles, ebooks, and ebook chapters found in the Library's online research services. Permalinks can be used to create links to learning objects in Canvas courses

EBSCO Journal Articles

EBSCO is one of the main vendors the Library uses to provide access to journal literature and ebooks.

To locate, the permalink in EBSCO:

1. Perform a search. Then, from the results screen, click on the title of the article of interest.

2. At the next screen, called the Detailed Record, look towards the bottom of the stack of icons on the right side of the screen. The permalink icon is highlighted in the picture below.

 

 

3. Click on the Permalink Tool and the part of the screen above the title changes to show the permalink you can use. 

Click once in the Permalink field to highlight its content and press CTRL-C to copy the permalink to the clipboard.

Then you can paste the URL wherever you want using CTRL-V.

EBSCO E-book chapters

Finding the permalink for an individual EBSCO ebook chapter adds a couple of steps. You'll start with the Table of Contents, and there is more than one way to get there. We recommend the following method:

1. From this display on the brief results screen, click on the title or on the PDF icon. Either way, you'll arrive at the same place.

2. Once you reach the full Detailed Record screen for the ebook, click on the PDF icon on the left, rather than Permalink icon as before. 

3. The full display of the ebook will appear and the Table of Contents will be displayed in the left-hand column. If you want the permalink for Chapter 3, for instance, click on the chapter title: Applications of Scorpionate Ligands.

4. When the chapter is displayed, the location of the Permalink icon changes to the navigation bar above the text frame. Click on the icon and the permalink will appear. You can then copy  and paste the permalink.
